funnily enough your avatar was one of the players from the past I was referring to 100 thousand signing back in the day sometimes didn't look intertested I was bursting for him to do well then in a pre season friendly against Montrose if I remember he scored direct from a corner kick and David Cooper arrived what a player.Pena will be a superstar here imo that's the first goal of many from him Pedro has to shape the team to accommodate his undoubted talentsToo many wrote the guy off far too soon.
Sometimes I don't buy into the the a 'player needs time to settle' stuff. But in Pena's case I feel he genuinely does. How many of us, or Scottish players, would go over to Guadalajara and settle instantly for example ?? The culture and environment in Glasgow will be utterly alien to him - and the weather will probably depress the f.uck out of him.
And I trust Pedro's handing of the situation
I still say there is a highly likely chance that he will be our POTY.

He was the goldenboy at one point, lets hope for our sake and the Mexican's he has the hunger to get back to that, he certainly looks like he wants it to meThe Mexicans on that YouTube are saying they want him firing Russia 2018.
He's obviously very highly rated, and a player the Mexicans love if he can get back to that level.
Some of his touches and passing were quite poor when he came on but his positional sense looks really promising already.
He has had one or 2 chances each time he made an appearance.
His touch and passing wont improve until he plays games, that is not his normal touch or passing ability.
I agree, i would throw him in sooner rather than later especially as Miller has started the season relatively poorly.
This boy will grab us goals. Morelos and Pena could be a deadly combo at this level.
Its the exact same thing and the term match fit has been used for a long time, most people know that means they may be fit but thir touch etc has to come on.To many folk seem to mix up match fit with match sharpness, Pena is match fit just needs game time to gets his sharpness up to scratch weight of pass, speed of the Scottish game and so on. For what it's worth I think he'll be a tremendous signing.
Play him just behind the front two and he will get us goals, and faze out Kenny & Nico as there slowing the game down.imo.I'd stick him in from the start with Miller dropping out.

We don't actually we get told it every day but the reality is he has shed an absolute tonne of weight during his time here. He's not been here a fortnight he's been here for months.
He arrived clearly miles off being fit and when he played against say Hibs he was still getting into shape.
He hasn't not featured for a reason-it's not language or any other nonsense or Glasgow or whatever other stuff -he wasn't fit.
If he was fit he would have been playing more. Now he's clearly at a stage where he can build up match sharpness but I think it is confidence rather than sharpness that affected him on Saturday-the goal will surely help that.
Some of the pish written about the guy has been horrific Tbh.I wonder if all the haters will come back on and apologise once he gets a proper run in the team and batters goals in for fun.Totally agree about the pass he made for Morelos dare i say it it was straight out of the mhanks playbook ala paddy (makes me furkn laugh that) roberts into stinkclair they do it quite well I'm ashamed to sayI think so mate, i like his attitude aswell, all the crap we had to listen to about him not bothering to warm up and that he looked like he didnt want to be there are rubbish, he looks hungry to do well and thats at least a good start, cant wait to see him fully match fit and i would be playing him in both games against Partick.
He offers more than Miller does and the guy is still finding his feet.
That ball he played for Morelos was class and a ball nobody else in the team would attempt to play apart from Niko, so once he and Morelos get an understanding i think they could cause havoc.

Yeah really liked the dynamics between them looks to be a bit of imagination and guile in that trio hope they all start against the jags I think we could pump them if they areThey do mate and even our first goal with the Candeias flick for Morelos was outstanding and the sort of goal they would score, Pena, Candeias and Morelos could linkup really well together.

That's very true mate I'll be honest and admit I was very worried pre season with the European fiasco player unrest etc.However all the keyboard managers are looking a bit foolish imo. Time will tell but I think Pedro has already put a far superior team together than anything we've had to endure in the last 5 years. Before anybody says he's spent millions in relative terms he has bought very well for very little Tore Andre Flo anyone lolDeffo, its funny how the game changed when Niko and Kenny came off both against County and Dundee, its no coincidence, we had much more imagination and where much more dangerous.
I just love watching Candeias, his energey, flicks, crossing , speed, he has everything really that we could have hoped for at 750k, there are more players like that out there we just have to be smart.
Early days but all in all i dont think anyone can say Pedro doesnt have a good eye for a player and JJ aswell.
He wont get everyone right but if you are getting 80% right then you are doing well imo.

Yeah love his antics in the dugout and the way he dealt with mutton and mccoist was awesome lolI know i was the same, i always believed in Pedro but after that game i said that was it that he was not the man, but slowly he turned it around, still got a bit to go but i believe he is the right man.
We wont get another manager with the same passion he has for the club.
I think Pena for Niko and Windass for Miller is the ideal starting eleven.
Is he speaking the glesga lingo already now that's clever lolThe slack passes won't be soley down to match sharpness, it'll be nerves too. He'll know there's been grumbles about him not featuring etc
